Included in the table below are 260 browsable and downloadable public domain pieces of sheet music (and their covers) related to Canadian ragtime and ragtime-related music (included in the list below is the list of sheet music from the separate essay called Ragtime Music in Québec). Below the table, is a list of additional Canadian rags that are available (so far) only in print or not easily locatable. Since there are so few "pure" Canadian rags from the ragtime era, I have included in the list below Canadian cakewalks, marches, two-steps, ragtime songs, waltzes and other piano pieces by known Canadian ragtime composers (or rags about Canada, as in the case of Canadian Capers and Saskatoon Rag). In the lists below, I have tended to not include too many ragtime songs since my primary interest is instrumental rags. The lists are fairly complete regarding the inclusion of "pure" Canadian rags, but I have been quite subjective in deciding what additional two-steps, syncopated marches or waltzes to include. Criteria for inclusion in the table below include:

  • the composer or performer is Canadian
  • the piece is in the public domain from the ragtime era
  • the piece is about Canada
  • the piece has the word "rag" in the title
  • the piece is by a Canadian composer who has also published a piece with "rag" in the title
  • the piece is distinctly Canadian in some way
  • the piece is otherwise a syncopated march or two step, waltz or related to Canada and ragtime in some way

As Kallmann (1960) has written in A History of Music in Canada "[c]ommercial considerations forced the publishers to specialize in dances, marches and popular ballads rather than serious music" (257). The principal meeting ground was religious and patriotic music. Kallmann (1960) also notes that in the 1880's (just prior to the ragtime era), there was around 150 pieces published in Canada per year (257). He further notes the wide variety of types of music being published in Canada during this time (258):

The bulk of the published Canadian music consisted of music in the patriotic and so-called light or popular vein – marches, galops, waltzes, quadrilles and songs, which were turned out in great numbers by amateurs as well as musicians specializing in this type of music. They deserve attention because they give, through their titles, texts and cover illustrations, a better reflection of Canadian social history than compositions of more artistic and academic aspiration.

All of the sheet music in the table below is in the public domain and available online for downloading or viewing (for free). For additional Canadian sheet music not included on this site, see "Sheet Music from Canada's Past" from Library and Archives Canada or check the other online sources for sheet music on my ragtime sources page.

Set out below this table is a list of additional rag pieces by Canadian composers from the ragtime revival era that are available only in print (i.e., these pieces are still likely covered by copyright protection).

Additional Print-Based Canadian Pieces
[top]

The following print-based ragtime-related pieces all appear to be written by Canadian composers (or are about Canada). Based on my searches to date, I don't believe any of these pieces are available in digital or online format and are all therefore in print format only. In addition, I suspect that some of the pieces below are more likely "parlour pieces" and not ragtime, but I thought I would include them in the list as instrumental piano pieces by Canadian composers with some connection to ragtime. I have not viewed most of these pieces, but if I am able to obtain copies for pieces in the public domain, I will digitize them and add them to the table above. The pieces below are set out in two sections: Ragtime Era Pieces by Canadian Composers and Ragtime Revival Pieces by Canadian Composers.

Ragtime Era Pieces by Canadian Composers [top]

The following pieces were all composed in the ragtime era (circa 1895 to 1920). Many of the composers below also have compositions that I have digitized in the table above. Most of these pieces are held in print or microform by Library and Archives Canada.
